My final prompt for @josuyasuweek2018 which is an “older” prompt. It really was a treat to indulge in fan-fiction writing, especially for a franchise I fell in love just a few months ago. <3
Violet
Okuyasu rubbed his fingers together in his leather, still sticky with the grease of the last motorcycle he worked on: a Lapis crystal Ducati Panigale. Okuyasu must have spent 3 mins ogling the beauty of the bike before working on its faulty gearbox. He was always the butt of his co-workers’ teasing - “Okuyasu loves motorcycles more than women!” - just before The Hand vaporized the space between them and the concrete wall.
But it was that subtle violet tint that always caught his eye as he worked on the motorcycle. Violet. Violet was the color of the dusk Morioh sky, his favorite time of the day. It was blissful summers of his youth. No. It was his eyes - how they gleamed with joy to cheer Okuyasu for the smallest achievements. It was how they grew soft with tears after telling Okuyasu his plans to attend university in Tokyo. It was how they shined whenever Oku surprised him in the city. It was how they were half closed, weary from all nighters during their FaceTime conversations. But it was how they sunk into despair when Okuyasu claimed that their friendship had “run it’s course” just before leaving him to go back to Morioh, where life was static. Where Oku felt safe, knowing he could no longer interfere with Josuke’s new life in the city.
You know Josuke’s back home Yukako said at the bar as they shared drinks together after their shifts. The dive bar was crowded with late millennials, smoke wafting in the air as 80s city pop blared throughout the establishment. To Okuyasu and Yukako’s surprise, they had grown closer platonically after high school. Or more so, they bonded over the fact that Koichi and Josuke no longer needed them in their new lives outside Morioh. That they were just the anchors holding Koichi and Josuke down, drowning them in stale nostalgia of Morioh.
Yukako couldn’t keep up with the demands of university, having a devastating mental breakdown on campus before being sent home to recover. While Koichi found a calling at the Speedwagon Foundation, she couldn’t bear the embarrassment of not being perfect for Koichi or for herself, ending things over a brief text and sending him away. But to her surprise, it was Okuyasu that stood at her doorstep, reminding her she wasn’t alone. Now, in her late 20s, the raven haired beauty had taken up aesthetician, in honor of Aya Tsutji, yet still holding on to her steely attitude with all clients.
Okuyasu rubbed the stubble of his growing beard before swallowing his double shot of whiskey. He knew Josuke was back in town. Everyone always mentioned it to him. His aging father saw Josuke driving his mom to work. Rohan, constantly showing his face at the auto shop, dropped hints that the “ruffian” has been applying to to jobs around Morioh. Even Koichi casually texted him that they should all hang out after his trip to the U.S.
Okuyasu took one final turn on his block, taking one long drag from his cigarette. His shoulder hunched, his buzzcut salt and pepper hair matching the stubble growing on his face, his face languishing as if he were The Hand himself. Perhaps it’s time we faced our inner saboteurs and let them know Yukako’s departing words drifted into Okuyasu’s mind.
Okuyasu opened the large wooden gate, hearing his dad’s nightly stories blare from inside. Okuyasu’s tired eyes looked up to find a vision sitting on his front porch. His anxiety must be playing tricks on him to see the moonlight reflect on a coiffed pompadour. Their broad chest in a simple white shirt and jean jacket. A face that hadn’t aged at all. This must be a dream Okuyasu thought as his cigarette left his lips to drop on the ground. But no. Those were the same violet eyes penetrating Okuyasu’s broad face, with the same warmth from their youth.
“Oku…”
The feels,man…yet another entry from Josuyasu week 2018
(btw all my notes and convos still being deleted :( )
Josuyasu Week Day 7: Older/Family Josuyasu week has been over for a little while but I wanted to cap it off with one more picture that I really wanted to do!! I like to think that older josuke and okuyasu take care of shizuka
Some of us mods are highly sceptical of the apology offered by Trish due to her manipulative past - she’s lied to people in the past to get people on her side, why should we believe she’s genuinely sorry for her actions?
Part of her statement that really irked one mod in particular is her claiming to want to “move on” - SHE is the perpetrator of abuse and harassment, what the fuck does she have to move on from? It’s all fine and dandy that she has instantly forgiven herself for preying on underage kids, but the rest of us have to live with trust issues and other personal problems she’s caused.
At least one of the people she lied to and manipulated is a survivor of child sexual abuse, do you have any idea what it’s like to find out someone you trusted is likely cut from the same cloth as the people that have robbed you of a normal adolescence? Yeah it ain’t fun.
Also, she says she isn’t attracted to children but…. she LITERALLY HARASSED CHILDREN SHE WAS INTERESTED IN. You’re straight up denying what you did. Non-creep adults don’t ever pursue children, not even once.
We’re going to let things lie for now but I hope Trish realises that the damage she’s done is too severe to be rectified by a lazy insincere apology. We still don’t trust her and advise everyone to remain wary of her, but we would love for her to be telling the truth. We hope she truly meant it when she said she was getting help and that she’s not going to do any of this vile shit again.
With that said we will be staying alert and suggest others do the same. Unless something else comes to light we’re going to stay a million miles away from her and try to forget she ever existed.
As we told her directly there’s too much evidence against her to make her story believable. But as always. Be safe. Spread awareness not hate.
For proving us right yet again. Your continuous moving and or deleting just shows us as a community you have something to hide, or that you really did do something wrong.
If you look carefully at the old post, we did not know it was you. We only thought it was you. And yet you prove us right. Over. And over. And over again.
Because any innocent person would defend themselves or make counter claims. Hell they would probably admit to it just to get people to fuck off. But you choose to run.
But with that being said maybe we can breath. And not feel scared. Maybe we can feel safe again. So please do us all a favor and either apologize or stay gone.
As aggressive as this account comes off, it’s only because we refuse to have a manipulative, abusive, toxic, child predator in our community. And no matter the risks we will stop you. There’s too much at stake other wise.
Anyways to everyone helping us, thanks. We couldn’t have done it without you. Now our community is a little safer!
Now hopefully we won’t have to use this account ever again. But as always we will post not just her accounts, but any new incidents as well.
